Secrets, Bruised and Broken - Part 2 / Danisnotonfire Fanfiction

Chapter 7. Needing Answers

I spent most of the upcoming day at Alec and Alice’s place, not sleeping, but playing with Lyle and Liam. They were just adorable, bubbly little babies. Once the twins took a nap, I knew I was about to get a lecture from Alice. ” Okay Elle, what were you thinking? You could’ve gotten kidnapped! ” Alice exclaimed quietly, I let out a deep sigh and shrugged. ” I had some things to think about and I just wanted to go for a walk, I didn’t mean to be gone all night ” I sighed staring at my hands, ” Well you had everyone worried sick! ” she stated with her hands on her hips. I chuckled quietly, she glared at me. ” Don’t laugh at me young lady, you… You’re grounded! ” she exclaimed, Alec and I busted out into laughter. ” Alice, you can’t ground her, she doesn’t live here ” Alec smirked, ” At least we know your gonna be able to discipline your kids ” I chuckled. She let out a deep sigh, ” I’m sorry Elle, I was just so worried about you ” she sighed. I stood up and hugged her, ” Alice, you guys have kids now, you shouldn’t have to worry about me ” I stated. ” But that doesn’t mean we won’t worry about you ” Alec sighed, I nodded and Sighed. ” I’m sorry ” I smiled with a cheeky grin, they both rolled their eyes. ” Just don’t do it again ” Alec stated pointing a finger at me, I nodded. ” Well I’d better get going, I already have a feeling that I’m gonna get yelled at by a few more people ” I sighed, ” Do want me to drive you? ” Alec asked. I shook my head, ” No, I’m just gonna walk. I’ll see you guys later ” I stated standing up. I quickly hugged then both, and quietly left.

I used to get tired of walking everywhere or I used to be terrified of walking alone, but now it helps me think, it soothes my mind. It wasn’t long until I reached my flat, when I walked inside it was quiet. I walked into the lounge, where Dan was asleep on the sofa, with Bernie. I sighed in relief, I was just happy someone took care of my cat. I then walked into my bedroom, dropping my bag on the floor and walking into the bathroom. I took a long hot shower, but before I could even walk out of the bathroom, I could hear Dan shouting my name. I changed into my pajama’s and walked out into the lounge, ” What? ” I asked. He looked at me weirdly, ” So this is how it’s gonna be? We get into a fight and you’re just gonna run away ” he sighed. ” Dan, I really don’t wanna have another argument, I haven’t slept much and I didn’t run away. I went for a walk, lost track of time and then got lost ” I stated, he nodded. ” But I wanna talk about what happened the other night ” he sighed again. ” I don’t, you were clearly drunk, so I don’t think it matters ” I sighed sitting on one of the sofa’s, he glared at me slightly. ” It does matter tho, I was jealous and I shouldn’t of been, I have a fucking girlfriend ” he exclaimed, ” Then why are you here? Why aren’t you with her? ” I questioned. He glanced at his feet, ” I just wanted to make sure you were okay. That we were still friends ” he stated. I smiled ” Don’t worry, still friends ” ( Even though I knew I’d never get over him ), he nodded and with that quickly left. Friends was the closest we’d ever get to being together, just because he was jealous, didn’t mean he wanted to be together. I sat their thinking for the longest time, Bernie watched me closely, as if he was wondering what I was thinking about. I chuckled and patted him on his head, ” I don’t need a boyfriend, not Dan or Scottie ” I sighed picking Bernie up. It was early, not too early for bed tho. I plugged in my phone and grabbed my iPod and put my ear buds into my ears. I the laid down in bed with Bernie by my side, different songs passed but the one that stuck out to me was Daylight by 5 Seconds of Summer. It ( Sorta ) Matched my situation with Dan ( Not really, I just love that song ), weirdly. I wasn’t heartbroken or anything, no, for some reason I couldn’t stop thinking about….. Lucas…. It was weird, I had thoughts about him and Paige all day yesterday. I wanted answers, no. I needed answers. Like, why did he kill his sister? So tomorrow, I’d be paying him a visit, it was something I just had to do.

[ The Afternoon of the Next Day ] 

I quickly sat up hearing the front door to my flat close, I glanced over at my alarm clock ( Which I didn’t set last night because I had fallen asleep before I could ). It was 1:45 pm, I let out a loud sigh. ” Ellie! Are you awake? ” Alec shouted, I stood up and threw on one of my jumpers. I walked out into the kitchen where Alec was, he brought me breakfast from the cafe, but I still wasn’t hungry. ” What do you have planned for today? ” he asked with a smile, I shrugged ” I’m going to talk to Lucas “. He stared at me, ” Whoa, wait. Isn’t that the guy who killed his sister? ” Alec questioned. I nodded, taking a sip of my coffee. ” Why are you going to talk to him? I thought you were finished with all that ” he sighed, I shrugged again ” I have questions about what his sister and him were trying to do, I know he has the answers “. He nodded, ” Just take this ” he stated handing me a can of pepper spray. ” If he makes any threatening moves, at least I know you’ll be protected ” he added, I chuckled slightly ” A bit dramatic, eh? “. He gave me one of those looks, I placed the can in my purse, just to put his mind at ease. We talked for a few more minutes, until he had to get back to work. I still had Lucas’s number in my phone, he was surprised by my call, but agree’d to talk to me. I changed into a dark blue jumper dress with half sleeves, and a pair of black block heel boots. I then called for a taxi, it arrived quickly. The ride was shorter than I remembered, when I arrived at the large house that was in the middle of nowhere, I wasn’t shocked to see police everywhere. The took a few per-cations before letting me in the house, it was still breathtaking. The only difference was that, there were camera’s everywhere, for security purposes. ( They acted as if this guy slaughtered an entire town, where they really that afraid of him getting out? ) I thought, completely spacing out. One of the many maids that worked for the Denwourth family, walked up to me. ” He’s waiting in the study I’ll show you there ” she stated with a half smile, I nodded ( But was extremely creeped out ). I followed her up a flight of stairs and down a long hallway, she then pointed to a door. Which told me, that was the door I needed to go in. I held my purse close to my chest, just in case. I took a deep breath in, ” You can come in ” I heard a deep muffled voice sigh. I took another deep breath in, this time I held it as I opened the door.
